    hey folks,

        Thanks for your previous answers. That troublesome CS prof has
    quieted down, thanks to you. Now for some even dumber questions.

    I got the new memory installed... so I'm now running on a p5-75
    with 24 meg of memory. But I'm having some problems. The help files
    are incomplete. The room names and their numbers are not associated
    (I can type @go #106 and get there, but I can't type @go wiz hangout
    and get there, even though it's the same room.) I know I'm an idiot about
    these things (I don't even know how to change the welcome message!)
    And the network isn't working. Send mail is turned on, but when I make a
    character, the password doesn't get mailed. Help!

    So the unix wiz told me to ask these questions:

    first, some background: the machine is running freeBSD 2.1.0
    the Lambda core is 1.7.9p2

    1. Should I be running a different core?
    2. Is there a better port? (BSD, or what?)
    3. what version of the database should I use?

    That's what he said to ask. Me, I'm just a poet...

    thanks,

    Bill
